War Depart merit to"r the representatives othe'pfesJ,; to the effect thnt the Navy .Department desired the army trnnsportn Grant, Hancock, Relief and Lawton; ' t hut. theA La wton bavinig; been purchased from an emergency fund appfo priatpd by CdnRrcss: for ; use : of either thj N.a Vy or the War D''partment3rtQ0Uld.be turn ed over, and1" that ' Congress woald be askVd, practically as a matter of ' formali'V, to ennct' a measure, authorizing t he t ra nsW of the other three vessels'. It was given, out that the Waf department had no further use for thes? transports but that the "Sec retar of the Navy could use them as receiving ships, etc , to advantage. On the faca of it there was nothing .snr prising in the statement, and several editors, without look fng intoAthe subject have sta ted that it was the. duty of Congress to pass the desired bill, A little investigation, however,4 would have reveal ed in this simple plan an ef- Nort to hide from the public a new evidence of the fearful extravagance, to express it mildly, which charactizedthe actions of War Department in connection with the pur chase ot army taansports in the early days of thepanieh American war, Inyestigation reveals the fact that trie War Department purchased the vessel named at ' most ex tratagant figures. TheOraot cost the covernmeht '' $600- 1 000, the Relief $450,000. the Hancock $600,000 and the Lawton $500 000. After purchase, an amount closely nproximating -$1,000,000, was expended lor fl I ting them ont'as transports,.. A com paratively shortf time- hgo the War Department adver tised extensively for bids oh the lo hnger needed tr.nns ports and finally received a number: ' It was then 'stated that the bids were .so low that none would be accepted but their actnnl amount was withheld on the ground that to publish it would be to de preciate the value of govern meat property, It now trans piresthat the total amount offered fori( the four vessel?, which has cost the govern ment $3,210,000 was less than $200,000. As these fig ures would have called atten tion anew to the extrava gance of the Department officials, it was determined to suppress the bids and the Secretary of the Navy was take Cake of the stomach.

Admirui Sampson so accommodating ly sunk hi the entrance tc Santiago harbor. The ven erable collier- had cost the government $400 000 at the beginning of the war an 1 was hardly sea worthy when sunk hv was pot worth the cost of repairs neccessnry to make her useful in any capacity and wberf the news camo she had been sunk in Santiago harbor, it lifted a cohsider weighf from the minds of the officials in Washington, who dreaded the publication of the facts. If Conaresseom plies with the wishes of Sec retary Root it will .appropri ate the sum of $3 210 000 for the purchase of the trans ports above named, by the Navy Department, from the War Department, and thus the archives of the War De partmental show that the ships were sold for what they cost. "Figures don't lie neither does Carroll D. Wright", re marked a prominent deom cratic politician recently, ap ropos of the extremely dip lomatlc report which Col. Wright made on the Penn sylvania coal strike situa tion. The statement with all that it implies iamostexpres siveof the popular opinion of Col. Wright among the members of both; parties. Col. Wright does hot . mis state facts, but be has a con venient way of arranging them so that they are sure, by their juxtaposition, it may be, to represent the views of whatever President ma v be in the White Honse. Jn this connection a little item of ancient history is interesting Col. Wright some years ago prepared a statement of the wages paid to the cotton op eratives in Germany, Eiig land'and the United States. The administration was Ro pnlilieah, stood for high pro tection etc., and, of courne, the figures showed that Ger man operatives received th? lowest wages, England next and the United States the highest. The tables publish ed gave the wages received per week. All would ha ye been well but for the fact that an induieitive newspa per man persuaded one of Col: Wiight's subordinates to show him the original sta tistics from which the table was compiled and which gnve the amount of work formed per operative, ic each country. A simple calcula tion made from these stuffs tics showed that per unit, of A Night or Terror. "Awful anxiety was felt for the widow of be brave General Burn hnni, of Machiam, Me., when the doctors snid she would die Irom pneumonia b e f o r e morning," writes Mrs. S. H. Lincoln, who attended her that fearful nirht. but she begged for Dr. King's N mr Discovery, which had more than once saved her life, and cur ed her of consumption. After ta king, she slept all night. Further use entirely cured ber."Thismar velous medi ine is guaranteed to cure all thront, lung, and chest diseases. Only 50 cents and $1 Svr bottle, Trial buttlrs free at f. . niaeklmni'. work performed per opera tivc, in each couhtry," the American laborer' received the lowest wages of all three, English laborers the highest, and German laborers came in between. The disclosure was unfortunate. A kindly disposed young man in Col, Wright's department lost his official head and the rosy de ductions made by the Col. were lost to the Republican editors. Truly, figures do not lie. but liars figure. The piesent stringency in the New York money marvet is certain to have its effect in the increased pressure which will be brought to bear on Congrr8s to pass the Fowler currency bill during the short session. For all the re peo ted assertions of the re publicans that all the friends of silver are to be found in the democratic ranks, it was deemed inadvisable to pass this inpa-mre before the Full elections, but when the elec tions are over there will be no ocension to put the same restraint on jbe friendsof the bankers and it is predicted that the bill wijl go through with a rush. Theattitude of Secretary Shaw, notwith standing the fact that he has already increased slighty.the government deposits in the New York banks, is highly offensive to the bankers and to the Wall Street contingent They have nevei before been told told by a republican Sec retary of toe Treasury to help therr selves and they are not slow to express their dis pleasure. - " Great things are predicted as n resnlt of the conference of republican Sehutors which will be held at tne home of the President, Oyster Bay. There is no doubt' that Mr. Roosevelt would likato know if he is to be permitted to saj' any thing more in regard to the turiff on his Western trip, than he has said on the subject in the Eist. He np pieiiates that he is going in to a section of the country where there is a stiong tariff revision sentiment ' among the members of his own par ty and it will cost him dear to go there "muzzled" never thelesshn has been advised that to advocate tariff re form, either as a remedy for trust evils, or as a correetive of the piesent high prices of commodities, will cost him the nomination in 1904. The situation ;s a trying one anJ th worst of it for him is that he is not in the hands of his friends. It takes about three sec ondsfor a message to go from oneendofthe Atlantic cable to tne otnor.

Webb, the Demo cratic congressional nomi nre in the ninth district, has challenged Mr. Geo, R. Hiss, the Republican candidate, who wns nominated at the district convention 'held in Ilickary last week, for a joint canvass of the district. The Charlotte Observer asked Mr. Hiss whether he would ac cept Mr. .Webb's challenge, and Mr.' Hiss answered that he would "see Senator Pritch ard about the matter" and would shape his 'actions largely on whnt he Pritch ard has to saj''' Certainly. Prifhurd is the whole show. Whatever h says goes a n d every one of the lesser lights iu the party 'are afraid to move without first consult ing him for fear of incurring his displeasure. Talk about bossisra and talk about ma chine methods 1 The Repub lican parti in North Caroli na is absolutely dominated by one man and the party is almost afraid to nominate a candidate for township con stable without first, securing Senator Pritchard's consent. There has been criticism of machine methods and attem ted bossism in the Democrat ic party in INorth Carolina, and at least some of this criticism has been just, - But it does not lie in the mouth of any Republican to talk a bout this sort of thing in the Democratic party. Whatever of it there may be is as noth ing compared with the meth ods which prevail in the Re publican party.
